Speaker 1: Thank you very much, John Shannon. It is six SOZH
Speaker 1: five here Kentucky in his morning news Coffee and company
Speaker 1: with you Nick Coffee. That is me and the full
Speaker 1: crew is here. You just heard John Shannon. Scott will
Speaker 1: be back with sports coming up in about twenty minutes.
Speaker 1: And of course the company man himself, mister John Olden
Speaker 1: alongside today. So the suspect, who I guess the suspect
Speaker 1: is unknown. There's still images from some surveillance footage or
Speaker 1: maybe it's I'm not even sure if it's that, or
Speaker 1: if it's from cell phone video. Whatever it is, you
Speaker 1: could it's everywhere. You can check it out on wlky
Speaker 1: dot com. The I mean, I hate even calling it
Speaker 1: a photo. It is that because you can't see much.
Speaker 1: But the individual who shot and killed a young woman
Speaker 1: yesterday is still at large, so just be aware of that.
Speaker 1: And this is where I don't I don't want to
Speaker 1: mock it or sound insensitive, but as I tell you that,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, well, yeah, there's a lot of people who
Speaker 1: murdered someone in Louisville that are roaming our streets because
Speaker 1: there's so many unsolved murders. And I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: going out of my way to take a shot at
Speaker 1: the inability to close these cases. Clearly it is a
Speaker 1: big deal, but this guy is one of many. Now again,
Speaker 1: he's probably in a state of mind that well, if
Speaker 1: you're somebody that has at this point gotten away with murder,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what your state of mind is. But nonetheless,
Speaker 1: just be advised because not only is he dangerous, this
Speaker 1: is also someone who you know, we want to see
Speaker 1: held accountable and arrested. So, yeah, just an awful day
Speaker 1: in Louisville yesterday overall, and two more shootings took place
Speaker 1: yesterday that took two lives here in Louisville since the
Speaker 1: school bus stop shooting. So we'll keep you updated as
Speaker 1: best we can. But obviously that'll be a big talking
Speaker 1: point throughout throughout the day here and probably just for
Speaker 1: the foreseeable future to a certain extent, because yes, it
Speaker 1: is not uncommon to turn on the news, turn on
Speaker 1: this station, pop open the social media app and see
Speaker 1: a new story about someone in Louisville being a victim
Speaker 1: of gun violence and maybe dying. It's just it's not
Speaker 1: uncommon at all. In fact, it's fairly common. It'd be
Speaker 1: a rarity to have a few days where that didn't happen, right,
Speaker 1: So this isn't new. However, the last week has just
Speaker 1: seemingly been and I wouldn't even here for a good
Speaker 1: stretch of that week, meaning I was I didn't get
Speaker 1: back to town until Sunday. But it just feels like
Speaker 1: right now there's been more. Again. I keep wanting to
Speaker 1: use the word awareness, but that's not really it doesn't
Speaker 1: feel like that's the exactly word. This is where I do,
Speaker 1: in fact struggle sometimes with the English language because I
Speaker 1: just think there's a heightened awareness of wow, this is
Speaker 1: this place has gotten like really really bad off when
Speaker 1: it comes to violence. But maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm
Speaker 1: just viewing it from my own perspective, but yeah, it's
Speaker 1: just been a You go back to the initial school
Speaker 1: bus stop shooting. Now two juveniles fifteen year olds have
Speaker 1: been charged after somebody was charged yesterday and added an
Speaker 1: added suspect that's been charged, and then of course the
Speaker 1: Friday situation where there was a home invasion, abduction, robbery,
Speaker 1: all that with the family that was just gone went
Speaker 1: through a tre experience, and then yesterday once again, another
Speaker 1: shooting at a school bus stop and it's just it's
Speaker 1: it's awful. It really is. I'll tell you what else
Speaker 1: is awful, this heat and this humidity. I was thinking
Speaker 1: about it yesterday as I was waiting impatiently for my
Speaker 1: vehicle to cool up. I've got real good ac in
Speaker 1: my car. I mean, I take pride in that. In fact,
Speaker 1: I will nothing. Nothing satisfies me more than whenever I
Speaker 1: have somebody that i'm that I'm that's riding with me
Speaker 1: in my vehicle for for whatever reason, and they compliment, Man,
Speaker 1: very c works good. I'm like you, damn right, it
Speaker 1: does because I and I have no I have no uh.
Speaker 1: I can't claim any any credit for it. It's just
Speaker 1: I guess I'm lucky. But yesterday, when I was leaving
Speaker 1: the gym, probably because I was hot, I just worked out,
Speaker 1: not that you can't tell. It took a while for
Speaker 1: me to to get the car at least feeling like
Speaker 1: it was giving me any cold air. That was that
Speaker 1: was relieving how hot I was. And I just thought,
Speaker 1: you know what, I hate August, and I realized August
Speaker 1: is I never thought about it, but August is the
Speaker 1: worst month of the year in my opinion. Have you
Speaker 1: ever given that thought, John, Oh, it is. It is,
Speaker 1: so you're not. So I'm not alone here because.
Speaker 2: It's not even just for the heat. But it feels
Speaker 2: like you've been deprived. And this is more of a
Speaker 2: sports take, but you've been deprived from football for so
Speaker 2: long and you're right on the cusp of it beginning again.
Speaker 2: It just makes it feel like it goes on forever
Speaker 2: for whatever reason.
Speaker 1: So yes, I've always viewed it from the from the
Speaker 1: sports side of things, because we've done enough of the
Speaker 1: off season talking season football stuff and we're we're so close,
Speaker 1: but yet we're not. We are actually close, but it
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like it because again, we've already done the
Speaker 1: off season chatter, and you really know, if you're a
Speaker 1: big sports fan, that this is it's about to get
Speaker 1: in gear here, right, It's about to get going to
Speaker 1: where you got college football, then you've got the NFL,
Speaker 1: then you got college basketball, and clearly those three things,
Speaker 1: specifically for us here in this region, that's that's what
Speaker 1: dominates interest. So that's exciting, and we've been waiting long
Speaker 1: enough and now we're here, but let's get to the
Speaker 1: finish line quickly. So yes, I've always viewed it from
Speaker 1: that perspective. However, also with even if you're somebody that
Speaker 1: likes summer weather and the winner, can you at least
Speaker 1: compromise with fall, Like I think you can look forward
Speaker 1: to fall. And maybe you're somebody that hates the winner
Speaker 1: so much that you hate the fall because it actually
Speaker 1: means you're closer to the winner. I love the fall.
Speaker 1: I actually think you could make the case that. Well, again,
Speaker 1: everybody has their own opinions. I think fall is the
Speaker 1: best season for a variety of reasons. Weather's more comfortable,
Speaker 1: it's usually pretty beautiful outside, and sports is up and
Speaker 1: running really everywhere when it comes to college basketball getting
Speaker 1: started and of course the NFL college football. So yeah,
Speaker 1: in my worst months of the year rankings, August is
Speaker 1: at the top right now, and I don't I don't
Speaker 1: see any real competition and.
Speaker 2: Put all summer months in the top three. If I'm
Speaker 2: being honest, I thought you liked summer. No, I mean,
Speaker 2: I like my wife being off work, but I cannot
Speaker 2: deal with the humidity the same way that you can't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're alike you and I, So in fact, let's
Speaker 1: do this on the other side. I'll give you a
Speaker 1: quick update there is a you gov survey that came
Speaker 1: out earlier this year that tells us which months Americans
Speaker 1: like the most in which ones they dislike the most.
Speaker 1: So we'll take a look at that. We'll see how
Speaker 1: rare our opinions are. Here, Ari, we've got another update
Speaker 1: of trafficking weather coming your way right here, right now.
Speaker 1: And I hope you stick with us. Why would you not?
Speaker 1: It's to Kentucky at his morning news Coffee and company
Speaker 1: right here on news Radio eight forty whas, six seventeen
Speaker 1: here at Kentucky and his morning news Coffee and company
Speaker 1: with you news Radio eight forty whas. So I'm telling
Speaker 1: you August is in a field by itself when it
Speaker 1: comes to being my least favorite month. And I thought, okay,
Speaker 1: am I in the minority here, and I'm not John Olden.
Speaker 1: He also says he's out on August. The hell with August.
Speaker 1: Get it out of here, just remove it. Tell just
Speaker 1: give us fifteen more days of July and fifteen more
Speaker 1: days of September and will act like August doesn't exist.
Speaker 1: That's what I would prefer, but I know that won't happen. However,
Speaker 1: you Gov gives us a really detailed survey here as
Speaker 1: far as the favorite and least favorite months in America,
Speaker 1: and they do it by all adults. You can then
Speaker 1: pick by region, gender, and age. So the regions are
Speaker 1: tough because what are we We're not Midwest, and that's
Speaker 1: a different conversation for a different day. Because I do
Speaker 1: believe that we are. We're probably not alone. There's other
Speaker 1: cities that also kind of feel like they don't have
Speaker 1: a home. As far as being Northeast, Midwest, South, or West,
Speaker 1: we are probably closer to I don't know, man.
Speaker 2: I think we're technically the gateway to the South once
Speaker 2: you cross the Ohio.
Speaker 1: River because we have more i think similarities to the
Speaker 1: South than we do the Midwest. But we really don't
Speaker 1: comfortably fit in either.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I think that's fair.
Speaker 1: But I would say, like northern the northern Kentucky, I
Speaker 1: would say is way more identifiable with the Midwest than
Speaker 1: they are the South. However, you get like south of Louisville,
Speaker 1: I would say you definitely identify more with the South.
Speaker 1: So again we got a mixed bag. But anyways, as
Speaker 1: far as all adults your favorite month of the year,
Speaker 1: we'll start with favorite than least favorite. We we're we're
Speaker 1: I mean, we're pretty normal here. You've got October is
Speaker 1: the leading vote getter, really, yeah, October, and then you've
Speaker 1: got May and June, and yeah, May and June. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: it is October, and then December, followed by May and
Speaker 1: June as a tie for third. After that you've got April,
Speaker 1: and then you know, the others just don't have enough
Speaker 1: votes to where they really crack it. You know, it's
Speaker 1: hard to say that. They're like they got barely any
Speaker 1: votes compared to the others. Now, the least favorite all adults,
Speaker 1: the least favorite month, let's see here, is January. And
Speaker 1: I get that because that's just when Christmas is passed.
Speaker 1: You're really if you're in, if you're in the where
Speaker 1: the winners are terrible, then I'm sure you dread it
Speaker 1: and hate it. And then after that you've got February.
Speaker 1: But January, by the way, is the he's the leader
Speaker 1: among months as far as the one that Americans like
Speaker 1: the least. And then after that you've got a close
Speaker 1: battle for second. But February has the slight edge five
Speaker 1: followed by August, so it's in the top three overall
Speaker 1: all adults. Across the entire United States. So and then
Speaker 1: from there, some people don't like December. I mean, shame
Speaker 1: on you. I hope you get no Christmas presents if
Speaker 1: that's the case, because December is really one of my
Speaker 1: favorite months. So let's do it by real let's do
Speaker 1: it by age. So least favorite month by age. If
Speaker 1: you are between let's see, we're we're in the same
Speaker 1: level here, thirty through forty four. That's you and I
Speaker 1: both actually know. I'm sorry thirty almost. I was just
Speaker 1: talking to John Shannon, how I cannot believe how young
Speaker 1: you are. So you're eighteen to twenty nine, and for you,
Speaker 1: the least favorite is January, and that was the leader overall.
Speaker 1: So I feel like every age range that's going to
Speaker 1: be In fact it is every age range has has
Speaker 1: the leader being January.
Speaker 2: I really don't hate January.
Speaker 1: Well again, I think it's because of our culture, because
Speaker 1: we love college basketball. I mean, it's just something the
Speaker 1: height of it right there. We get so like it's
Speaker 1: such we care about it. And this sounds silly, I know,
Speaker 1: but we care about college basketball more than anybody in
Speaker 1: it's a if you're a big fan, like you know, Okay,
Speaker 1: we've got a weekday game, we got a Saturday game.
Speaker 1: So everything that typically would be unlikable about January, cold weather,
Speaker 1: Christmas coming to an end, it getting dark at five pm.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you get distracted by that to an extent because
Speaker 1: you have something that you enjoy, like college hoops.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 1: We don't have that at exactly. So yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1: As far as the yeah, let's see here. As far
Speaker 1: as the most favorite. As far as age, the leader
Speaker 1: for your age range was December, and the same thing
Speaker 1: for me. So actually, no, I'm sorry for me. It's October,
Speaker 1: so we we're not alike there.
Speaker 2: I'd probably go with April or May. Springs my favorite year.
Speaker 1: Springs beautiful, no doubt. All Right, we've got an update
Speaker 1: of tfficing weather coming your way. Scot's back with another
Speaker 1: update on sports as we roll along here on news
Speaker 1: radio eight forty whas. Thank you very much. John. It
Speaker 1: is six thirty six at Kentucky in this morning news
Speaker 1: Coffee and Company. That's us. My name's Nick Coffee. The
Speaker 1: full cruise here, John, All in the long side you
Speaker 1: just heard John Shannon. Scott will be back with another
Speaker 1: sports update coming up in about twenty minutes, you are
Speaker 1: about four minutes away from your next update on traffic
Speaker 1: and weather. And maybe it's just me, but I feel
Speaker 1: like the biggest the time in the morning where I
Speaker 1: get up and start my commute, which is very early,
Speaker 1: I would say compared to most but I could be wrong,
Speaker 1: but the roadways tell me that I'm not wrong. So
Speaker 1: usually I'm on the road by about four am, three thirty.
Speaker 1: Between three thirty and four am, what I've noticed though,
Speaker 1: is that I don't need to get here as early
Speaker 1: as as I have been initially, so that's actually giving
Speaker 1: me a chance to sleep in a little bit longer
Speaker 1: than I was in the first few weeks. But but I'm
Speaker 1: getting I think the emptiness that is there when school
Speaker 1: is not in session is really noticeable. And it's not
Speaker 1: like we've got rush hour traffic at four am, but man,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people on the roadway now compared
Speaker 1: to what it was previously, which again is just a
Speaker 1: reminder of how many people in in this city are.
Speaker 1: Their day starts with some type of when they start
Speaker 1: their day is somehow a factor of what JCPS does,
Speaker 1: because maybe they work for the school system, maybe they
Speaker 1: have to get their kids somewhere super early because they've
Speaker 1: got to get them in childcare to then get on
Speaker 1: the bus. So everybody's situation is different. But yeah, these
Speaker 1: last couple of days now that really everybody is back
Speaker 1: to school, busier roadways, so again that could mean that
Speaker 1: we could have more traffic issues. So we'll get an
Speaker 1: update on traffic coming your way in about two and
Speaker 1: a half minutes here from Bobby Elli's. Also another update
Speaker 1: on the forecast with Matt Melosovich of WLKY. So when
Speaker 1: it comes to the news currently from yesterday, well, the
Speaker 1: current update on the yesterday's news at the school bus
Speaker 1: stop where a woman was shot and fatally killed, her
Speaker 1: identity is yet to be released. However, there are many
Speaker 1: loved ones friends that have shared social media posts and
Speaker 1: they're calling she I guess she goes up goes by
Speaker 1: the name Juicy. That is the name that Pia friends
Speaker 1: say their friend known as Juicy was. You know, friends
Speaker 1: are confirming, family members are confirming that in fact, that
Speaker 1: is who was shot and killed. So the identity has
Speaker 1: yet to be released. I'm sure that'll happen here soon.
Speaker 1: But yeah, there's still a suspect at large here because
Speaker 1: the fifteen year old that they took into custody yesterday
Speaker 1: at Shawne High School ended up not being the suspect,
Speaker 1: which is good news that it wasn't a fifteen year
Speaker 1: old kid. But if we find out that it is
Speaker 1: in fact a minor, I'm not going to be shocked
Speaker 1: by any means, So be on the lookout. The pictures
Speaker 1: are everywhere when it comes to the local news, and
Speaker 1: obviously you can see it on our social media pages
Speaker 1: here at eight forty whas as well as woky dot com.
Speaker 1: And hopefully they can find this suspect sooner rather than later.
Speaker 1: But when it comes to the violent crime that is
Speaker 1: either juveniles that are the victims or they're the perpetrators,
Speaker 1: clearly that has become a real big issue. It's not
Speaker 1: that it's new. I mean last year. In fact, I
Speaker 1: think up until June June of this time last year
Speaker 1: there was actually more violent crime involving juveniles, which was
Speaker 1: surprising to a lot of people. But either way, it's
Speaker 1: an issue at any level. Right if it happens once,
Speaker 1: it's an issue. I don't want to make light of
Speaker 1: it like, oh yeah, we'll do a few of those
Speaker 1: juvenile murders. We'll do bad. No, I mean, I'm just
Speaker 1: any time it happens, it's bad. But like right now,
Speaker 1: I feel like there's more awareness of it than ever,
Speaker 1: and it's just because it's not getting any better, right
Speaker 1: and I really can't get over the fact that we
Speaker 1: just don't have anything in place that will actually get
Speaker 1: these violent people off the streets. Yeah, they're kids, some
Speaker 1: of them as young as like thirteen years old, but
Speaker 1: they're also violent. They're a threat, and there's also a
Speaker 1: level of being that young and naive ignorant to the world.
Speaker 1: To me, it adds an element of you being more
Speaker 1: scary to me. You know, you don't really know what
Speaker 1: you're doing, meaning like you're not you're not you're clearly
Speaker 1: not thinking your life through, knowing that you're making decisions
Speaker 1: that could cost you your life in a variety of ways.
Speaker 1: You could die, or you could end up in prison,
Speaker 1: or maybe you won't end up in prison. Because when
Speaker 1: it comes down to it, like some of these people
Speaker 1: that are committing violent crimes that are that are children
Speaker 1: under eighteen years of age, and I suppose it depends
Speaker 1: on what level of crime they committed. They're just being
Speaker 1: held until somebody can come and get them, and that
Speaker 1: is not only not the right way to go, it's
Speaker 1: just fueling the world of violent crime in Louisville. Because
Speaker 1: if you don't think that these juveniles are being led
Speaker 1: into this lifestyle by gang members, I mean, not every
Speaker 1: situation is the same, but I mean look at some
Speaker 1: of these, like the carjacking situations that's taken place in
Speaker 1: recent years. I mean that has been tied to Again,
Speaker 1: not every situation is the same. Where they're working. I
Speaker 1: mean they're they're they're young gang members. I guess just
Speaker 1: doing that, doing the dirt that that the others don't
Speaker 1: want to do. They've got young, stupid kids that'll do
Speaker 1: it for them. And it gives these kids who have
Speaker 1: no parents at home, nobody that's ever probably made them
Speaker 1: feel as if they have any worth or any value,
Speaker 1: and now they found somewhere where they feel like they belong.
Speaker 1: And unfortunately it's with a violent gang where they're committing
Speaker 1: violent crime, and that it's just it's a cycle that
Speaker 1: some's got to give, and I think that something is
Speaker 1: start incarcerating these children for their own good and for
Speaker 1: the good of this city. And as we discussed a
Speaker 1: couple of days ago, it's at the state level. The
Speaker 1: state has to take initiative and get the ball rolling
Speaker 1: here to get this process started. And when that happens,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've got some theories as to why
Speaker 1: they don't seem real concerned about it, and we'll talk
Speaker 1: about that coming up here next. Again, your next update
Speaker 1: of trafficking weather's right here right now on news Radio
Speaker 1: eight forty whas a couple of minutes away from your
Speaker 1: next update on traffic and weather, so stick around for that.
Speaker 1: Sorry for my poor clock management so far today. I'll
Speaker 1: do better. In fact, I have. I've had to do
Speaker 1: better with the change here to has. But this will
Speaker 1: be a quick segment and I'll try to keep us
Speaker 1: on track the rest of the way to where we
Speaker 1: don't have, you know, two minute segments. That's on me.
Speaker 1: I'll do better. But when it comes to they're no
Speaker 1: longer being a juvenile attention center here in Louisville, and
Speaker 1: clearly they're never seemingly being a bigger need for one
Speaker 1: than right now. It's perplexing, right and at the state level,
Speaker 1: that's where the that's where the wheels got to get
Speaker 1: moving in order for that to actually happen. And it
Speaker 1: hasn't happened yet, and there's no real there's no real
Speaker 1: belief that there's any date set or a date that
Speaker 1: they're targeting. And it was counselman, Uh, I'm in my
Speaker 1: head now about Nogentini. I mean, I think and again
Speaker 1: I could see you could tell me. Once I get
Speaker 1: a name wrong, then I just I always second guess
Speaker 1: it if I'm getting it right, So I think it's
Speaker 1: Pa Agentini, but if it's not, I apologize to to
Speaker 1: this individual. But he was momentary minors. We played the
Speaker 1: sound earlier this week, and he was just he mentioned
Speaker 1: that specifically that there's just no there's nobody at the
Speaker 1: state level that's that's really making this a priority, and
Speaker 1: that's unfortunate. But one thing that hadn't really hit me
Speaker 1: until he he he brought it up. But it's so true.
Speaker 1: You know, what you're exposed to, what your environment is,
Speaker 1: that that has a big it's a big factor in
Speaker 1: just sort of your state of mind and like and
Speaker 1: you know you're in your own bubble to an extent, Well,
Speaker 1: if you're in Louisville every day wherever, wherever it may be,
Speaker 1: East End, West End, downtown, you know you're you're exposed
Speaker 1: to a world really that is different than the rest
Speaker 1: of the state of Kentucky. I mean, think about that,
Speaker 1: the vast majority of this state, they're not exposed to
Speaker 1: anything like we are here. And I don't mean just
Speaker 1: the violent crime, but a lot of things. I mean,
Speaker 1: Louisville is a is a big city, and there's really
Speaker 1: no comparison as far as a city that is the
Speaker 1: same size than Louisville. I mean, Lexington's a bigger city
Speaker 1: than the rest, but it's not close to Louisville as
Speaker 1: far as size. So when they're not when they when
Speaker 1: it's not their community and they're not waking up and
Speaker 1: living every day, going to work, sending kids to school,
Speaker 1: they're not thinking about the violent crime that takes place
Speaker 1: in Louisville and how a lot of it lately has
Speaker 1: been juveniles that are that are a part of it. So,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know what we got to do
Speaker 1: to do to let them know. I mean, Basher's been
Speaker 1: in town for the Ford announcement, certainly for the ge
Speaker 1: And I mean I'm being tongue in cheek here as
Speaker 1: far as like does he know, clearly he knows, but
Speaker 1: like something needs to be done. There needs to be
Speaker 1: some kind of action taken because the current, the current
Speaker 1: arrangement where these juveniles really until they do take someone's life,
Speaker 1: they're not really held accountable as far as being incarcerated.
Speaker 1: That's that's benefiting those that really are the leaders of
Speaker 1: violent crime in Louisville, meaning gangs. All right, we've got
Speaker 1: an update of Travling the weather coming your way. Also
Speaker 1: another update on sports right here on news radio eight
Speaker 1: forty w h S
